Totem Raising

Carvers Jeffery Klanott, left, and Jim Heaton hold a Raven totem Monday as it was attached to a girder at the entrance of the American Bald Eagle Foundation. A twin Eagle totem also was erected. A $15,000 donation from the Rasmuson Foundation paid for the Raven post. The foundation has sold $100 tiles to raise $9,000 to date for the Eagle post. Tiles are still available.
